Chapter 72: Harry's Determination [Asking for a Monthly Pass!!
"Shall we go to Professor Dumbledore?" Harry stood in the foyer looking a little confused, he didn't know what to do, and told the professor that Voldemort wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone and was afraid that they wouldn't believe it, after all, he had no real evidence.
"We're going to have to talk to the professor," Hermione replied, "we can't solve this matter, let's go to Dumbledore's office and find him." ”
Dudley spread his hands and looked helpless, "Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." "Dumbledore is probably no longer at school now, not to mention that he won't see them even at school.
Harry looked confused, and before they could ask, a voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the hallway.
"Didn't you guys go out to play?"
It was Professor McGonagall, with a large stack of books in her arms.
Hermione plucked up her courage and said, "We want to see Professor Dumbledore." ”
Professor McGonagall repeated Hermione's words, not understanding what was important to see Professor Dumbledore, and she asked, "Why?"
"It's a secret!" Harry blurted out.
Dudley looked at Harry dumbfounded, did the family speak boldly or without going through the brain, why didn't they answer a 'guess'?
Harry swallowed and took a few steps back in fear, regretting it as soon as he said it. It was only because Professor McGonagall was angry that she glared at Harry and incited.
"Professor Dumbledore left ten minutes ago. Her voice was cold, "He received an urgent letter from the owl from the Ministry of Magic, and immediately flew to London. ”
"What? he's gone?" Harry was anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, "how could this happen?"
"Professor Dumbledore is a great wizard, and his time is precious......"
Harry interrupted Professor McGonagall, saying, "But this is a very important matter. ”
"Is what you're going to say more important than the Ministry of Magic?" Professor McGonagall stared at Harry, punishing him for disagreeing.
Dudley tugged at Harry's sleeve and motioned for him to stop talking, presumably Dumbledore hadn't told any professor that Voldemort was in the school, and in order for Voldemort to fall into a trap, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.
"Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Harry whispered in Dudley's ear, not to be outdone, staring into Professor McGonagall's eyes, which might seem sincere, "That's the professor, what we're trying to say is about the Philosopher's Stone. ”
Professor McGonagall had no idea that this would be the case. The book in her arms fell to the floor with a thud, and instead of picking it up, she stammered, "You... How do you know?"
Dudley was a little nerve-wracked, he was proficient in telekinesis, and he could see that Professor McGonagall's reaction was not a fake, and sure enough, just as he thought, Dumbledore didn't inform any of the professors beforehand.
Dumbledore really made him feel bad, the plan he talked about last time didn't tell the whole story at all, and he blamed himself for terminating it without listening to it, and Dumbledore didn't tell him, he was completely black-eyed now, and he could only speculate on the memory of his previous life.
This bad old man's heart is really big, is he so relieved that they are a few little broken children? The next time he sees Dumbledore, Dudley will definitely condemn Dumbledore's irresponsible mentality.
"Professor, I think the volt... Someone tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone. We have to talk to Professor Dumbledore. ”
Professor McGonagall looked at Harry with a mixture of consternation and suspicion.
"Professor Dumbledore won't be back until tomorrow. "I don't know how you found out about the Philosopher's Stone, but don't worry, no one can steal it, it's very tightly guarded." ”
Harry seemed to have known that he would get this explanation, there were too many people who didn't trust him, "But the professor ......"
"Potter, there's nothing, I know what I'm talking about. Professor McGonagall said impatiently, then bent down to pick up the book that had fallen on the floor, she glanced at the crowd and said seriously, "Forget the Philosopher's Stone, you shouldn't know about it, now I suggest you go outside and bask in the sun, the sun is so beautiful outside." ”
The crowd responded, pretending to want to go outside in the sun, and they watched Professor McGonagall walk away.
"Tonight," Harry affirmed, "Quirrell and Snape are going to help Voldemort steal the Philosopher's Stone. ”
Ron looked at Harry suspiciously, and he had to patiently explain, "They've figured out all the levels designed by the professor, and now that Dumbledore has been tricked out of the school, they only have one chance to steal the Philosopher's Stone tonight." ”
"Let's go, let's go to the fourth floor and ambush first. ”
It was Harry's plan, he planned to stay outside to guard Quirrell and Snape, and then someone would come and get the stolen goods.
Dudley was all flashed to the waist by Harry's maneuver, and he didn't look at what time it was, it was still early in the evening, and at this time, he was going to be hungry and ambushed.
He didn't agree with Harry's approach, Voldemort wouldn't have made such a move, and it turned out to be two-on-two, he and Hermione went back to the common room first, while Harry and Ron went to the fourth floor to ambush.
Dudley and Hermione had barely returned to the common room when Harry and Ron crawled through the hole with frustrated faces. The two of them met Professor McGonagall again in the hallway of the four, and was severely reprimanded by the professor.
There were only four of them in the lounge, and the other lion cubs were all outside frantically releasing the stress of this time.
After a long silence, Dudley took the lead and said, "What are you going to do now?"
"I'm sneaking out of here tonight, and I'm going to try to get my hands on the Philosopher's Stone first. ”
"You're crazy!" Ron said in shock.
"You can't do that!" Hermione was horrified by Harry's decision, "you could die or be expelled!"
"So what?" Harry slammed to his feet, and said loudly as he looked at the crowd, "Don't you figure it out? If they get the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort will come back! You all know about the past, how much turmoil he caused when he wanted to dominate the world! If he succeeds, will death be far away? What is the difference between dying early and dying later? Hogwarts probably wouldn't exist, and it doesn't matter if he is expelled or not. He might flatten the school to the ground, or turn it into a school dedicated to the Dark Arts! Is this what you want? I'm not going to go to Voldemort anyway! I have to protect the Philosopher's Stone today, and you can't stop me with anything!"
Harry glared angrily at Ron and Hermione, and he turned his gaze to Dudley, "You're going to stop me too?"
